late night walks on the side streets of LES where we spotted a 'Stop Telling Women to Smile' mural by @tlynnfaz to be black, a woman
and not be hunted
and not to hold your head down and not have to quiver when you 
pass a man
police
or professional
yet still knowing
at any given moment
you are a target

@bevtgooden on the creation of the #whyistayed HT and the powerful community of support that developed from it #domesticviolence
@feministajones explains how the black American #streetharassment HT #youoksis came to be. Sparked a movement in which people approached the woman being harassed to see if she was indeed ok during the harassment. A powerful movement
